ECU Head Coach Earns Contract Extension

East Carolina University's head baseball coach Billy Godwin received a raise and a contract extension that will guarantee his spot until 2011.  Godwin started coaching East Carolina in 2005 and has posted a 73-49 record in just two seasons with the Pirates.

Goodwin's eventual goal is to land his team in Omaha for the College World Series.  He had a chance this last season while playing in the Chapel Hill  regional as the number two seed.  Unfortunately, Goodwin's team lost to West Carolina to be knocked out, but not before they posted a close 11-10 loss to the eventual College World Series runner up North Carolina.
